Her instantly recognizable work brings together anthropology, gender studies, cultural studies, and an acute literary sensibility to open ancient texts and ideas to new forms of understanding.

Retrospective Muse
Enter Arsace and Her Entourage!
The scenes at the Persian court invoke braided issues of erotic desire, gender, ethnicity, and class in a dizzying set of complex plots and counterplots. The woman Arsace is the focalizing figure of the entire episode. Occupying dual roles as erotic subject and political regent, both mistress and slave to unbridled passion, she caps the novel’s engagement with gender and power in a new hybridized version of the Phaedra motif, introduced earlier w…

Return to the Land of the Sun
Return to the Land of the Sun: in Homage to Jean-Pierre Vernant (1914-2007) FROMA I. ZEITLIN proem This piece was was originally commissioned for an issue of the literary revue, Europe (N° 964-965, 2009) devoted to the scholarly career of the renowned French Hellenist, Jean-Pierre Vernant. Member of the Collège de France, and founder of the so-called "École de Paris" whose work from the 1960s on transformed our approaches to the literature, socie…
Constructing the aesthetic body in Homer and beyond
This essay focuses on the Homeric figure as an aesthetic object, whether clad in bronze armour like a second skin in the Iliad, or as, in the Odyssey, an artisanal creation that turns the human form into a masterpiece of skillful handiwork. Martial in the first instance, erotic in the second, the objectification of corporeal presence through artifice and artefact constructs human figures who are thauma idesthai and points the way to later technic…
Longus and Achilles Tatius
This chapter pairs two Greek novels: Longus’s Daphnis and Chloe and Achilles Tatius’s Leucippe and Cleitophon, both generally dated to the second century ce. At first glance, they may seem to be strange bedfellows: Longus’s work is a pastoral romance, a small-scale miniature set entirely in an idyllic landscape on the island of Lesbos, where the young lovers enjoy conditions of unimaginable innocence and what adventures they have are limited to t…
Narrating desire
Despite the recent explosion of scholarly interest in the field of ancient sexuality, inquiry into major shifts in erotic consciousness is still in a preliminary stage. The essays in this collection, which focus upon the representation of the desiring subject in prose fiction, advance our understanding considerably as they probe the ambiguities surrounding the ostensible opposition of male and female in such texts. The volume will provide a neede…
Narrating Desire
Representation of desiring subjects in the novel is one of the most illuminating issues in the area of ancient gender and sexuality, for such narratives subject societal norms to acute critique. This volume brings together fourteen essays originally given as oral presentations at the Fourth International Conference on the Ancient Novel (ICAN IV), held in Lisbon in July 2008. Employing feminist and psychoanalytic approaches, each offers a provocat…

Religion
Religion plays a central role in the plot of virtually every ancient fictional narrative, influencing the lives, actions, mentality, practices, beliefs and eventual fates of the characters (and narrators); the types, interventions and motives of divinity or other uncanny forces; the use of mythological exemplars, and more broadly, the array of problems that the entire subject poses for interpretation of the genre's conventions. The novels are ful…
Imaginary Tales in the Land of the Perpetrators
This article explores three recent works of fiction, all concerned with what I call “imaginary tales in the land of the perpetrators”. All the writers are women, albeit of varied backgrounds and nationalities. The earliest is Marcie Hershman (American, Tales of the Master Race, 1991 Hershman, Marcie. 1991. Tales of the Master Race, New York: HarperCollins. [Google Scholar]), followed by Gila Lustiger (German‐Jewish, Die Bestandsaufnahme, 1995, pu…
Dionysus in 69
Here I am once again. Now for those of you who believe what I just told you, that I am a god, you are going to have a terrific evening. The rest of you are in trouble. It’s going to be an hour and a half of being up against the wall. Those of you who do believe can join us in what we do next. It’s a celebration, a ritual, an ordeal, an ecstasy.

Visions and revisions of Homer
Prologue It is not by chance that I begin this essay with an image of Homer from the Hellenistic period as a essential prologue to what will follow in examining his role and that of his epics in the period of the Second Sophistic. For in this chapter, I will be attempting to do two things in order to understand the remarkable cultural authority of Homer that, starting with Alexandria and the example of the notoriously philhomeric Alexander, expan…
Being Greek under Rome
These especially commissioned essays open up a fascinating perspective on a crucial era of western culture. In the second century CE the Roman empire dominated the Mediterranean, but Greek culture maintained its huge prestige. At the same time, Christianity and Judaism were vying for followers against the lures of such an elite cultural life. This book looks at how writers in Greek from all areas of Empire society respond to their political posit…
Le métier du mythe
Hésiode doit sans doute plus que jamais se lire à plusieurs. Le nom du poète grec archaïque – le seul qui nous ait transmis un exposé systématique de la naissance des dieux et du passé mythique de l’humanité – s’ouvre en effet immédiatement sur un conflit d’interprétation. Depuis que l’anthropologie, la sémiotique et l’histoire sociale ont su repérer dans le texte de la Théogonie et des Travaux et les jours la prégnance de thèmes et de formes tra…
Nothing to Do with Dionysus
Before sexuality
A dream in which a man has sex with his mother may promise him political or commercial success--according to dream interpreters of late antiquity, who, unlike modern Western analysts, would not necessarily have drawn conclusions from the dream about the dreamer's sexual psychology. Evidence of such shifts in perspective is leading scholars to reconsider in a variety of creative ways the history of sexuality. In these fifteen original essays, emin…
